Energy Jobs increase in Houston, double the National Average

According to the LinkedIn Workforce Report released today, Houston saw a 12.4% increase in Oil & Energy Jobs in the last year through May, compared to a 5.2% increase nationally. The tight labor market in Houston has more jobs in certain industries than qualified candidates making it very desirable for job seekers. With unemployment at record lows, there are more jobs than people out of work nationwide.
